Ideas with IMPACT

Adapter Application

A teacher wishing to apply for an Adapter Grant chooses one of the curriculum ideas profiled in the Ideas with IMPACT catalogs (published each year since 1990) and creatively modifies it to their own classroom.

Application Deadline for 2022-23 School Year:  CLOSED  

Adapter Grants range from $150 to $450. To apply, you must contact the teacher who developed the idea before submitting your application. Contact can be made by attending a workshop given by the Disseminator, communicating via e-mail or telephone, by visiting the Disseminator in their classroom, or by having the Disseminator visit your classroom - via Zoom, Teams or other digital platform. If you cannot reach the Disseminator, please submit your application adding a note that you were unable to contact the teacher. 

Strong preference is given to applicants who have attended at least one Idea Expo in the past three years, but all are encouraged to apply!

Project funds must be spent within the current school year or an extension must be requested. A final report and expense form with receipts are required.
